New Jersey has experienced the biggest weekly uptick in cases concerning multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) in quite some time, according to state officials, NBC reports.

On Monday, the state’s Commissioner of Health Judith Persichilli revealed there are five new reports of MIS-C since Gov. Phil Murphy’s previous press conference held last week. According to Persichilli there are 141 cumulative cases in the state. However, the silver lining is that “none of the children are currently hospitalized.”

Gov. Phil Murphy went on to call the latest number of MIS-C cases as “the biggest jump in a week that we’ve had in quite some time.” However, the DOH Medical Director Dr. Edward Lifshitz said it is too early to tell if the latest figures dictate a trend. MIS-C is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs, according to the CDC, which also notes that it is currently unknown what causes this illness in children, although it is known ” that many children with MIS-C had the virus that causes COVID-19, or had been around someone with COVID-19.” Read more at NBC.

  1. From the tone of the article it seems that none of these children were vaccinated as this is not mentioned as a possible cause. The only cause that the article elates to this outbreak is the probable presence of Covid-19.

    It’s probably safe to say that if ALL the adults would be vaccinated, Covid-19 would disappear and these problems wouldn’t be with us.

  2. Dr. Zelenko: TAKE YOU CHILDREN OUT OF PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL SLAUGHTERHOUSES A.K.A THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
